From a Hindu perspective, you are born as what you need to deal with, and if you just try and push it away, whatever it is, it's got you.

You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don't have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.

You can be still and still moving. Content even in your discontent.
